Now, in real life, the team getting him back is allowed to refuse, but we don't currently have that capability. So... part of me doesn't feel it's fair to have the team he's returned to automatically be saddled with his contract, but not sure if it's fair either for the team that drafted him to always have to pay. Hmm, what should we do?
Any chance it could just option him to the DFA page but somehow cleared through waivers? Would allow the team receiving the player back to then demote without financial restraint.
